Bai Qiuye said: "If you look at me like this, you will make me think you are going to do something to me."

The woman's eyes narrowed a little, and she said with a smile: "I have survived to this day, and I still have some respect. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Bai Qiuye said: "Your expression just now is completely inconsistent with what you said."

"Even if I want to take action, I won't do it to you." The woman walked aside and poured tea for the two of them. "His 'camouflage mask' has expired."

When Bai Qiuye heard this, he turned to look at Situ Li's face. Situ Li's plastic-like texture disappeared and returned to his original appearance.

Situ Li said: "I'm sorry, you couldn't do it."

"No, I also want to thank you for saving my life." The woman said, "I never thought about pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth."

A smile appeared on Smiling Tiger's face: "You are very smart."

Bai Qiuye coughed and pretended not to see Situ Li's pretense.

Situ Li said: "What is the price you mentioned just now?"

"If I don't tell you, you should have already guessed it." The woman said, "Of course it is a life in exchange for a life. One life is worth living here for one year."

Bai Qiuye said: "Human life is really worthless."

Situ Li said: "All the news spread comes from you?"

The woman nodded: "We must ensure that people keep coming in."

"No wonder this kind of news has an air of conspiracy." Bai Qiuye said, "Aren't you afraid that we will tell this matter after we leave here?"

"Very few people would choose to leave." The woman said, "Also, this is not a place where you can come in and leave whenever you want."

Bai Qiuye said: "Is it related to the NPC named Songfeng and the NPC behind Songfeng?"

The woman said: "Matsufeng, he is not——"

Before she finished speaking, the door was knocked, and a voice came from outside, asking the woman to open the door.

The woman's expression suddenly became ugly. She had never shown this expression when she saw Situ Xuan change his face before.

She glanced at Bai Qiuye and Situ Li, walked over and opened the door.

Standing at the door was a man with naturally curly hair. He was very tall and built like a piece of paper. He was wearing a dark blue ordinary cotton shirt and looked like a walking clothes hanger.

The man said to the woman: "I heard you received two new friends."

The woman pursed her lips and said, "Yes..."

The man's eyes moved away from the woman and fell on Bai Qiuye and Situ Li.

"Are you here to see Songfeng?"

The two nodded.

The man came over and stretched out his hand to them: "I am."

His hands are also very long and thin, with round fingers and clean nails, almost like those drawn by cartoonists.

Situ Li stretched out his hand and shook it, then quickly let go.

Bai Qiuye also raised his hand and shook it.

Songfeng said: "I can take you to meet the people you want to see."

Situ Li asked: "Is it that simple?"

He obviously didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky, and the pie even walked up to them.

Matsukaze said: "It's not simple. I'm just a guide. The answer you want doesn't come from me."

The woman said: "He's right."

Bai Qiuye remembered that Chen Wenbin took his daughter into the dungeon with the intention of curing his daughter's illness, but in the end his daughter disappeared in the dungeon.

This is probably one of the costs, what Matsukaze calls "not simple."

Songfeng said: "I happen to have a time gate now, do you want to follow me?"

In the end, Bai Qiuye didn't find a chance to continue the topic interrupted by Songfeng with that woman.

Before leaving, the woman completely changed her attitude

, and kept silent to her.

Even if Bai Qiuye asked, she would insist that she never said it.

Bai Qiuye looked at the back of Songfeng's head. Songfeng must have threatened the woman or something, and that was why she suddenly became silent.

Songfeng took them towards the edge of the village. The surrounding environment became more and more tidy, and they could even see elaborate gardening landscapes.

A courtyard is located at the edge of the village. It has white walls and gray tiles. A peach tree sticks out from the courtyard wall. A few birds sit on it and chirp, creating a peaceful scene.

The door is open, and after walking in, the courtyard, which looks inconspicuous from the outside, is actually filled with water, and large and small pools divide the courtyard into several parts.

There are ancient pines, peach trees and other trees planted there, giving it a quiet and ancient feel.

Songfeng took them through several pools and came to the pavilion built on the pool.

There is a gauze hanging above the pavilion, which is gently blown by the wind, and softly brushes against the chairs of the pavilion.

There was a stone table inside, and a half-played Go game was placed on the stone table.

There was a teacup with only the bottom left, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.

Songfeng said to Bai Qiuye and Situ Li: "Seeing that you are not having good luck, please wait here for a while and I will go find him."

After Songfeng finished speaking, he left first, leaving Situ Li and Bai Qiuye standing in the pavilion.

Bai Qiuye said: "I didn't expect that there would be a place with such a beautiful scenery in this dungeon. This NPC really knows how to enjoy it."

Situ Li said: "That Songfeng has no interest in our origins, which shows that the NPCs in this place have the upper hand in front of the players, and they know everything about the players."

To prevent loss of contact, please remember the alternate domain name of this site:

Bai Qiuye said: "Before Songfeng knocked on the door, the woman mentioned him. Unfortunately, after he came, the woman said nothing."

As the two of them were talking, they saw Songfeng following a person, walking towards the pavilion.

The person was a woman who looked to be in her 40s. She was wearing an off-white linen gown and looked casual and natural.

But Matsukaze treated her with great respect. It could be seen from Matsukaze's expression that he was even a little afraid of this woman.

After the two NPCs walked in, Songfeng introduced them to Bai Qiuye and Situ Li.

"This is the unknown lady."

The nameless lady means that this woman will not reveal her name.

No wonder Chen Wenbin couldn't tell the name of the NPC and just asked Bai Qiuye to find Songfeng.

Wuming said: "You can just call me Wuming, I don't care about the title."

Bai Qiuye said: "If you cared, you wouldn't call me this name."

Wuming smiled, with slight crow's feet at the corners of his eyes: "What questions do you two want to ask me when you come here?"

Situ Li said: "Can we ask questions directly?"

Wuming said: "You can ask now if you want, or you can ask later if you want. But I will give you the answer after you make a decision."

Bai Qiuye asked: "What does it mean to make a decision?"

Wuming said: "I will give you the answer, and you have to give me an answer. I will choose to answer your question based on your answer."

"Do you want to ask questions now or later?" Wuming's eyes fell on the two of them.

Bai Qiuye said: "Can I hear your question first?"

"Of course." Wuming said, "My question is very simple. If you want to get the answer here, you must sacrifice one life. There are just two of you, so there is only one question you can ask."

"So the choice I want you to make is who you want to choose as a sacrifice in exchange for the only answer."

Wuming's words were like a bell ringing, leaving Bai Qiuye and Situ Xi silent for a long time.

Wuming looked at them with crooked eyebrows: "Of course I

I don’t need you to answer me now, and I don’t need you to answer in front of each other.”

"Satsufeng, bring the things here." Wuming turned to Songfeng and said.

Matsufeng took the order and left, and returned after a while carrying a plate.

There are two pieces of paper and two pens on the plate.

"You can go to the house and discuss it." Wuming said gently, "When you have the answer, write down the person you choose on paper."

After Wuming finished speaking, he sat on the chair, picked up a white chess piece between his two fingers, and dropped it on the chessboard.

Matsukaze said: "Let me take you two to the room door."

Bai Qiuye asked: "If you want to know the answer, is there no other way?"

Wuming didn't look back, turned his back to her and said, "I only have one rule here, as long as you abide by it."

Wuming's words are equivalent to answering Bai Qiuye. If you want to get the answer, there is no other way.
